Luke Newton Talks 'Beautiful Moment' Filming Intimate 'Bridgerton' Scenes With Nicola Coughlan

Luke Newton dishes on the beautiful moment he shared with his co-star and friend Nicola Coughlan as leads of Season 3 of "Bridgerton" and reveals he's not ready to let his mom watch his "steamy" scenes. Luke also opens up about his best kept secret — his boy band past — and shares his hilarious reaction when his "Bridgerton" co-star Nicola Coughlan switched out the classic regency music with music from his band during a "massive" ballroom scene.

Who else is counting down till June???

Luke has been absolutely killing it in season 3, he truly is such a talented actor! Every expression, every delivery of his lines - he truly is fantastic at his craft! I cannot wait to see what other opportunities he'll get in the future, he was really wonderful in The Shape of Things

[CharlotteLyfe]

Great job Luke. Although, he still looks a tad nervous, his interviewing skills are improving. Usually, he looks much more comfortable with Nicola next to him.

He is so gentle that you can feel it on the screen😭😭

OMG THE CROSSOVER OF THE CENTURY😍😍😍 SIMU LIU AND LUKE

[lucyinthesky]

YEAH, LUKE NEWTON!!! 👏🏼

You know, Luke demonstrates this ever so subtle approach to playing Colin Bridgerton without even saying a word — his face, expressive eyes, body language. It’s so effective, and his delivery has made me love Colin in ways I didn’t whilst reading Romancing Mister Bridgerton. He’s just a fantastic actor. I’ll never get over it — I cannot, will not, do not want to get over it! 😩

And knowing how much agency Luke and Nicola had as actors, the discussions they had in preparation to tell this story, and seeing the choices they’ve made to play these characters authentically in part 1 speaks to the tremendous level of talent, professionalism, and profound respect for their craft the pair have — a love letter to the Polin fans for sure. 💌 I truly couldn’t imagine a better duo to portray Colin and Pen. They have so much chemistry, and I can’t wait for part 2. Meanwhile, they are absolutely spoiling us on this press tour! 🩵 The prank Nic played on him is gold. 😂

Thank you so much for having Newts on the show, Kelly and team! 🫶🏼

Season 3 part 2 is to die for! Nicola and Luke have amazing chemistry. Their love scene is the spiciest of the entire show! What a beautiful couple. ❤

Simu asking his agent to get him romance lead auditions all of a sudden... "Luke said it was fun, he showed me."

[mirage_wanderlust]

The Brigerton glow up is CRAZY! I was not attracted to this man for 2 seasons! Can't wait till June ❤️

[Alex_Tribe]

Luke has been amazing in season 3 part 1...I've loved every moment with him..can't wait until part 2 is released and then we can see the impact of the Lady W reveal...and how Polin deals with the consequences....❤

[izaalmeida]

He calling her “best friend” I love them so much 😭😍

[soleinasoussou]

Best season, best actors to represent pen and Colin, best romance, best friends to lovers, best dynamic. Just give us a polin spin off bc this chemistry isn’t enough for one season !! 🐝💛

[ambberhill]

So nice to see Luke be so engaging in an interview, he is usually laid back. I love

[kendrabryant]

Love Bridgerton and love this season! Some people are saying that they didn’t have chemistry, but I 100% disagree! The chemistry in episode 4 was palpable!

[DawningWisdom]

SIMU HAS TO HAVE A CAMEO IN BRIDGERTON ❤

[greentara]

Nice vibe for Simu and Luke to be interacting. Almost felt like Graham Norton Show for a mo!

[saraign]

Here for the Bridgerton content!
I've been loving their interviews, they must be a dream for their PR teams ❤
That prank was hilarious 3:09 but the best part is Luke doing the millennial dance, clapping and lifting the fingers 😅😂

[nayelicervantes]

That was such a fun day! He’s so gorgeous in real life! ❤

[JenShea]

Season 3 was terrific! Simu is adorable! So much fun, always!
